that was funny ...and his referring to a "rather crazed Ambassador Rice" totally shocked them both ...Bimbo #1 can't seem to grasp the radical Islamists will see this as a US led operation or that spending another $Bil a week on Libya has anything to with economics ....
Ms Romans (Bimbo #2 ) takes a major affront when Scheuer suugest she's just "carrying water" for the Admin...she's more than ready to call the this "exhausting" interview off on that note ...extremely discomforted she did look as tho her "water" was about to break . Or blow a gasket ....poor gal.
CHETRY: I just want to ask. Are you trying to have both ways in saying that, OK, these are tyrannies that hate their own people, well, that's why we're helping because in Libya, it was the people that wanted Gadhafi out, that they were tired of it. So, weren't we then supporting Islamic democracy, I guess you could say, in these countries where they're tired of totalitarian rule?
SCHEUER: If we were supporting Islamic democracy, that would be one thing. But if you listen to Mrs. Clinton and especially rather crazed Ms. Rice at the U.N., this is all about democracy in a world where democracy is not going to take hold.
Romans: Certainly you are no fan of this policy and this administration. I think calling Ambassador Rice crazed is certainly a significant charge.
SCHEUER: Well, I don't know. I've just listened to her. You know, that's only my impression. And I have to say, this is not a Democratic problem, this is a Republican problem, too. Both parties love to intervene in other people's business where there are no U.S. interests at stake and where we spend enormous amounts of money that when we're nearly bankrupt. That doesn't seem to be a wise practice of American statesmanship.
ROMANS: And that's another story, to call the United States bankrupt. The United States is running huge deficits, yes, but the economy and this mission in Libya are two separate issues.
SCHEUER: They're not separate issues, ma'am. You're just carrying the water for Mr. Obama.
ROMANS: I'm certainly not carrying anyone's water. And I will assure you of that.
Michael Scheuer, thank you so much for your time. You know, we had a very long exhaustive interview. You had plenty of time to give your point on that. |
